About this map

Neoga serves as the central hub of this East Central Illinois landscape, where the Illinois Central Railroad cuts a straight line through the fertile prairie. The importance of the rail line to the local heritage is evidenced by the numerous burial sites along its corridor, including the Illinois Central Railroad Cem, the Neoga Railroad Crossing Cem, and the Illinois Central Railroad Pioneer Cem further south.

Water features dominate the western and southern reaches, notably the expansive Lake Mattoon and the headwaters of the Little Wabash River. Small tributaries like Copperas Cr and Bush Creek branch out across the townships of t11n r7e and t10n r6e, creating the drainage patterns that defined early farm boundaries. To the east of the main settlement, Williamson Airport and several rural cemeteries such as Long Point Cem and Brush Creek Cem mark the quiet stretches of Cumberland and Shelby counties.
